Privacy Policy

Last updated October 23, 2026

What we collect

• The name you type. It can be a nickname. Other players in your game see it.
• Your game activity. The words you play, emoji reactions, votes, and when they happened. Everyone in that game can see them.
• A random player ID. When you open Brainsmith, your phone gets an anonymous ID so the game knows which seat is yours. It isn't tied to your email, phone number or real identity.

We don't ask for your email, phone number, contacts, location or photos, and we don't collect payment details.

What stays on your phone

Brainsmith saves a few things in your browser so it works smoothly: your name, the list of games you're in, whether sound is on, and whether you've seen How to Play. Clearing your browser data removes them.

Who handles the data

Games are stored with Google Firebase, which runs the game's database and the anonymous sign-in. The app itself is hosted on GitHub Pages, and its fonts come from Google Fonts. Like any website, these services can see basic technical details such as your IP address when your phone connects to them.

What we don't do

• No ads, and no ad tracking.
• We never sell or share your information for marketing.
• No matching with strangers. You only play with people who have your game's code or link.

How we use it

Only to run the game: showing words to the players in your game, revealing rounds, and keeping your list of games. The creator may look at overall totals, like how many games were played in a day, to see how Brainsmith is doing.

Kids

Brainsmith is a family game, and kids play it with their families. It doesn't ask for any personal information beyond a first name or nickname. Parents, if you'd like your child's games removed, contact us and we'll delete them.

Keeping and deleting data

Game records are kept so you can come back to a game later. To have games you played in deleted, contact us with the game codes (or your name and roughly when you played) and we'll remove them.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top. Big changes, like adding paid features, will be explained here before they start.
